Image via WikipediI've had a list of things to do before I die for a while now -- at least a year and a half or two years ago. The last few years, I have made it a New Year's Resolution to do at least one item off the list, and I also use the list to keep my 43things in line. But I've never made the whole list public.Then, I read this post and liked the idea of talking about this sort of thing, telling people what I hope to do and finding out what their plans are.
